3. To use a server’s host name as slot name, select the Use Host Name for the Slot name option. This overrides the static slot names
with the server’s Host Name (or system name), if available. This requires the OMSA agent to be installed on the server. For more
information about the OMSA agent, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator User's Guide available at dell.com/support/
manuals.
4. To use the iDRAC DNS name as slot name, select Use iDRAC DNS Name for Slot Name option. This option replaces the static slot
names with the respective iDRAC DNS names, if it is available. If iDRAC DNS names are not available, the default or edited slot names
are displayed.
NOTE: To use the Use iDRAC DNS Name for Slot Name option, you must have the Chassis Configuration
Administrator privilege.
5. To save the settings, click Apply.
To restore the default slot name (SLOT-01 through SLOT-4) based on the slot position of a server) to a server, click Restore Default
Value.
Configuring iDRAC network settings
To use this feature, you must have an Enterprise License. You can configure the iDRAC network configuration setting of a server. You can
use the QuickDeploy settings to configure the default iDRAC network configuration settings and root password for severs that are
installed later. These default settings are the iDRAC QuickDeploy settings.
You can configure attributes using the chassis profile attributes only if the preceding or dependent attributes are enabled. The preceding
attributes are:
• Enable LAN
• Enable iDRAC DNS Name
• Enable IPv4
• IPMI Over LAN
• Use DHCP to obtain DNS Server Addresses
• Enable IPv6
• Autoconfiguration
• Use DHCPv6 to obtain DNS Server Addresses
If any preceding attribute is disabled, an error message stating that the dependent attribute is not configured properly is displayed.
Examples:
• To configure the IPv4 attributes, select the Enable IPv4 option.
• To configure UseDHCP4DNSServer, select the Enable LAN, Enable IPv4 and DHCP options.
• To configure Autoconfiguration, enable the dependent attributes--Enable LAN and Enable IPv6.
If the iDRAC is configured using the native iDRAC user interfaces, the attributes are empty while exporting the chassis profile the first
time. If any iDRAC attribute is configured using CMC interface, it fetches the values from iDRAC.
NOTE:
The iDRAC password is stored in the chassis profile using a symmetric encryption password that is configured
using the CMC interfaces.
For more information about iDRAC, see the iDRAC User’s Guide at dell.com/support/manuals.
